I got a Princess from a Magical Chest f yeah. She's carrying me.

I'm Lvl. 8 f2p and at 2794 rating now. Playing against Lvl. 10s and barely scrapping up wins with my underleveled deck.

Bro a legendary should get you into legendary arena so good luck to you. The underleveled deck only really starts to show when you put cards that should counter things but don't, but commons and rares get better over time. This is one of the few free to play games I actually like because you have a chance if you play really good and watch how your opponent plays and counter their next move. Sadly for me I have never gotten a legendary =( and i have gotten two super big magical chest.

It does suck when my opponent's zap one-shots my Minion Horde though.

What is everyone's thoughts on the latest balance changes?

I was surprised no nerfs/changes to giant and Poison. Lumberjack seems like it could be very strong as well as Bowler.

pretty much all of the better tournament level players have quit now out of boredom

i haven't been playing in a while, tournament feature was SUCH a huge letdown

in the first week we all banked like 200 dollars of cards but after that tournaments just rolled over and died

After watching the last Super Magical Cup played yesterday, balance seems okay. There was lots of variety in the top 8. I thought Lumberjack was going to be OP but in this tournament it wasn't. However, the top 2 finishers made Giant Bowler look way too strong, and thinking back, I wonder how some people made it to the top 8 without it. I think I only counted three Giant Bowler decks. But they didn't show all the matches.

The winner's decks:+ Show Spoiler +

Zap
Ice Spirit
Ice Wizard
Lumberjack
Giant
Bowler
Poison
Elixir Collector

Zap
Ice Spirit
Ice Wizard
Lumberjack
Knight
Log
Miner
Three Musketeers

I just barely got to Arena 7 so the meta for me is still the same.

Got highest trophies of almost 3400 before the RG nerf with ice wiz, princess, canon, gob, minion, rg, min pek, zap.

Then the nerf happened. haven't dropped out of legendary but the nerf was dumb. RG wasn't OP at all. FURNACE was a hard counter. like literally just drop a furnace and the RG uselessly targets it and does zero damage to tower. And miner/furnace was already a good deck to begin with.

Not to mention barbs, ferno tower, min pekka, ice wizard, and many other ways to completely neutralize RG. now the RG is basically a worthless card, i'm only winning cause my guy is level 11. supercell way overnerfed it, meanwhile lumberjack is now a GOD OF DESTRUCTION and miner is still too good. neither legendary which i have.

played in first tourney and it was a lot of fun. for the most part, stomped all the shitty sparky users, but occasionally i'd lose. now i know how idra feels about carriers. fuck sparky. still a stupid card, and when ppl do win with it, it isn't because of good play, its because the card is idiotic.

I quit playing maybe a month ago because the gold cost of upgrading the cards is ridiculous. It is a +1 week grind to upgrade 1 card from lvl 9 to 10 and you need to upgrade 8 of those. So making multiple competitive decks (+3k rating) takes months. Which just forces you to play the same deck over and over and over.

But in reply to this:

Sparky and log were the legendaries I got 2ish months back. The card is really stupid but you can't blame the players for using it. I would also have preferred to get the payfecta legendaries (ice wiz, queen and miner) but I didn't and got sparky and "was forced" to use him for over a month. The card is stupid and it requires no skill but I preferred playing that card over playing hogfecta for the 5th month in a row.

The legendary I got right before I quit was the lava hound, but like I said in the start, I am not farming gold for 2 months to make a competitive deck around it. I could do it, play in 2.8k for funzies but meh... cba.

Enjoyed playing Clash Royale for 6 months. But the repetitiveness due to slow progression killed it for me.

Nice dude. Was it hard? What was the competition like? My cards are not tournament level so I have yet to attempt a challenge thing.

Also I see you used zap to get to legendary arena. Do you still use it?

And I must announce - I got my first legendary last week, miner!

The competition varies. Grand Challenge and normal Challenge seem to have the same skill level and it's just luck of the draw at times. My opponents generally range from 3K rating to a bit above 4K. On average I'd say the competition is tougher than normal matchmaking, except there are level caps on units/castle so that helps me out a lot since I'm thoroughly outleveled in normal.

I recently switched my build. It's currently:

Ice Spirit, Fireball, Miner, Princess, Giant, Mini Pekka, Minions, Minion Horde

I replaced Arrows with Fireball because I was getting owned by barbarians and three musketeers. I replaced zap with Ice Spirit since I can pretty much use them for the same things, but Ice Spirit is lower elixir and also helps more against Giants/Royal Giant/Pekka/Hog Rider/Mini Pekka/Infernal Tower.

I just tried out the Ice Wiz and it doesn't fit well with my build. I tried replacing Miner with it, but I kinda need the miner to pressure elixirs and to do fast counter attacks. I tried replacing Ice Spirit with it, but Ice Spirit is just way more efficient and helps me against Infernal Towers. =/

Grats on Miner though! Took me a couple days to get used to playing it, but now I'm okayish.

I can't play since 2 months because I can't gain access to my gmail account linked to my Clash Royale profile...
However I'm happy I can't play because it still seems to be an effin' chore reading some posts.
Since I already made legendary arena the game is over as f2p so I can accept quitting.

I second the praise of challenges. My deck is pretty much tournament level and it's great having a mode that both gives good rewards and puts you on an even playing field. I've been pretty much abandoning the regular matchmaking and exclusively playing challenges and it's been much more enjoyable. You come across a deck that hard counters yours at times but on the whole your skill is the primary factor on how well you do.

The RG nerf made RG literally worthless unit so I swithced up to a mortar deck I found on reddit made by woody:
Tombstone, Minion horde, Mortar, Miner, Princess, Ice wiz, Zap, Min pek

At first I dropped lots of trophies back down to 3k, but then after some practice and getting zap to 11 I am now at 3530 trophies, highest ive ever been. The deck is also really good in challenge mode cause of all the caps. The popular meta deck: giant, mega minion (i call it megan), musk, poison, bowler gives me a lot of problems, but other than that I can usually get five wins, highest was ten.

Its a lot of fun, fits my playstyle of slow steady chip damage (RIP RG you will be missed) with three sources of damage: miner, princess, mortar.

but lots of other combos exist: miner + ice wiz and skellies from tombstone
miner + horde if they wasted arrow on princess
throwing down a mortar to make a double threat with the left over troops from my defense + a miner. the idea is if you make a bunch of good trades they can't possibly respond to all the threats. lots of fun. nowhere near as good as woody but im having fun again, which i stopped having fun after they murdered RG. but on the flip side, with RG sucking, mortar is really underrated right now

Interesting. I've always found Mortar to be completely useless and it's one of the few cards I've barely upgraded. Did it get buffed recently?
